Gunfire at an East Side apartment complex caused a death and an injury early Monday.

Daryle Brown, 29, was found shot to death in the driver's seat of an SUV. Police said it appeared he was shot while driving in the back of the Outspan Apartments in the 4600 block of East Houston Street.

Police were called to the gated apartment complex around 3:30 a.m. Monday, when residents reported hearing shots fired. Someone inside an apartment in the bottom-floor corner of one building had been shot in the leg, police said, and was hospitalized. Outside the building, shell casings littered the street.

Nearby, officers found Brown in the SUV.

According to police, the two shootings are likely connected and may have taken place simultaneously. No information on suspects or a motive was released and officers were interviewing “persons of interest” at the complex in hopes of learning more.
